Desktop Tuesday, Quick Crafter Update

Hi guys. I’ve spent most of the past week coding, improving the UI by adding things like hotkeys, icons to buttons, etc. Of course, code isn’t particularly interesting to look at (unless maybe you’re a coder), but I did also have a chance to revisit some of the basic crafter models.

Here you can see some tweaks I’ve made to both the Carpenter and the Blacksmith. For both models, I’m really trying to edit. I’ve simplified the color scheme and removed detail in favor of really emphasizing one or two signature elements, like the Carpenter’s utility belt. The subtle details of the old models was getting lost, especially with the camera zoomed out.

Of course, the obvious change for the Blacksmith is to give him his own individual character instead of making him more or less a palette swap of the Carpenter.

For those of you who missed the live streams last week, here’s what we did. This shot is of a fully stocked Weaver workshop, complete with a spinning wheel, loom, and dye rack!

The new models look awesome! I like the fact that the blacksmith is its own person now. You can see the evolution from being sleeveless to just having cut off sleeves to the rolled up sleeves of the big and burly magma smith. Any news on when another stream will be up?

I think they are once a week (tuesdays)

Seth

steveadamo

Are jobs gender-specific? Are (for example) all Weavers female, all Blacksmiths male, etc? It’s probably been covered in some other blog or stream but I missed it and am curious.

Either gender can fill any job!

rkieru

Thank you for clarifying! I’m ridiculously excited for Stonehearth. It looks like so much fun.

Alexander Martin

jonyon

The new Blacksmith looks great! but the Magmasmith designed based on the old one (colors and everything), and i fear that it may not look like that the new one and the Magmasmith are conected

creiij

I just wish you could clone yourself again (there are already two of you=) and make this game as fast as possible. Waiting for the beta =)

steveadamo

fear not, team radiant is growing! 2 new folks (in addition to the lovely Stephanie)…

Daniel A DeLibro

If you were looking for a level one version of your loom you could fabricate a warp weighted loom; which is a wooden frame that has strings weighted down with rocks, the fabric is then threaded through the hanging strings – basically a simple, very early (Neollithic) loom.
Then for the rack you could have a very simple bench. Just some ideas.
